Chapter 765: Chapter 759: Shocked

"No, I’ll do it myself!" Lin Qianqing’s complexion turned a shade paler, clinging to her clothes without daring to undress.

Jin Xiaoran’s face stiffened, feeling that he had given her enough face for the night; continuing this act of coyness was simply too much. His displeasure began to show.

"Lin Qianqing, from today on you are the official wife in my residence, a married woman. Has no one taught you how to behave as one?"

"I..." Lin Qianqing said softly, "I was startled during the day, I’m still... somewhat afraid."

Recalling the frustrations of the day, Jin Xiaoran’s burgeoning desires were immediately extinguished by cold water.

Indeed, Lin Qianqing was still young. A mere girl startled so severely by the day’s events had good reason to be acting so strangely tonight.

It wasn’t her fault; if there was blame, it lay with that damned Jin Tingyu.

He pulled Lin Qianqing to his shoulder and gently patted her back, whispering, "You were truly startled today. Tomorrow I’ll have someone stew a sedative herbal soup for you. It’s late; let’s sleep for now, I won’t touch you tonight."

She was now his wife, yet also the little cousin he had watched grow up; he was far more patient with her than with other women in the residence.

If he scared her again, it would be no good. He had to give face to his own mother and aunt.

...

In the blink of an eye, Gu Youyou had already stayed in Qi Mountain for three months, and the New Year had arrived.

Xiang Chun was busy tidying up the room, cleaning every inch inside and out to welcome the coming of the New Year.

At the same time, her face was filled with melancholy.

"Ah! It’s really something, not even letting us go back for the New Year. Miss Cousin, when will the Heavenly Master’s illness be cured?"

Gu Youyou, neither arrogant nor impatient, was actually very pleased. With Searcy joining her research team, their achievements had further developed.

She turned to Xiang Chun, who wore a face of sorrow, and said with a faint smile, "It can’t be cured. We should thank the heavens if his senile dementia doesn’t worsen, how could it be completely cured?"

"Ah...?" Xiang Chun was shocked into astonishment, "It... it can’t be cured? Then what are we staying here for?"

Gu Youyou said, "An incurable disease doesn’t mean we can’t treat it; we are here to treat him."

Xiang Chun internally complained, asserting she couldn’t understand at all.

So, with that said... "When can we go back?"

"You want to go back?" Gu Youyou asked, tilting her head at Xiang Chun.

Xiang Chun thought about it. She only felt that she should go back; after all, she was a maid of the Lin Residence, and if not returning to the Lin Family in Beijing, where else could she go?

But upon further reflection, the days at the Lin Residence were not as carefree as in Qi Mountain. She realized she didn’t particularly long to go back.

Yet...

"We have to go back eventually, don’t we? We can’t stay here forever. This place is a Taoist Temple."

"Then we’ll stay as long as we can," Gu Youyou said nonchalantly.

Well, she did miss Jin Zijin, but thinking that he would come to the mountain for the New Year made her feel that celebrating it anywhere was just the same.

Qi Mountain had many advantages over Beijing, the best being that even in the depth of winter, it wasn’t cold. She was still wearing her slightly thicker autumn clothes; the winter clothes she brought had been unnecessary.

Since Searcy joined Gu Youyou’s research team, the girl, true to her upbringing in poison research, took over the task of extracting venom from the Ice Snake. Moreover, she could harvest the best venom at just the right moments.
